Medical toothpaste
Medical toothpastes are part of the Oral hygiene category and are intended for daily care of teeth, gums, enamel and the oral cavity. Unlike regular toothpastes, medical toothpastes, gels and balms often have a targeted purpose – for sensitive gums, enamel protection, oral mucosa care, fresh breath and additional tooth protection.
Proper oral hygiene includes regular tooth brushing, gum care and, when needed, the use of specialized products. Medical toothpastes can be a good choice for sensitivity, gum irritation, plaque buildup, bad breath or the need for additional enamel protection.
This category includes toothpastes, gum gels and mouth and tooth balms that may help maintain oral health, support daily tooth protection and provide a more pleasant feeling of freshness in the mouth.

Pharmacist advice
Medical toothpastes and gels should be selected according to the condition of teeth and gums. In case of gum bleeding, pain, swelling, gum recession or persistent bad breath, a dental check-up is recommended. Specialized products can be a useful addition to oral hygiene, but they do not replace regular dental examinations.
